Wrestling fans didn’t have to wait long Sunday to see some pins.
In the fourth bout against Indiana, Penn State’s Zain Retherford (149) earned a fall in 3 minutes, 42 seconds. Then Jason Nolf (157) followed that up with a pin in 1:30 — and teammate Bo Nickal (185) did him one better two matches later, pinning his opponent in just 42 seconds.
Sunday was nothing new for the three Nittany Lions, who have developed a penchant for putting their opponents away quickly.
Over nine bouts this season, Retherford has spent about 29 minutes total on the mat, and Nolf a bit over 31 — compared to 81 minutes, if they would’ve instead had a decision each time.
